Dunno why you're getting disagrees. It's a confirmed update in the article that the invites are only for those that were already signed up for the newsletter at the time of the announcement. Signing up now may get you on the list if they do multiple betas, but otherwise you'll be missing out on at least the first couple of weeks of the beta like many of us will.
RPGs, Action RPGs in particular. I love the freedom of movement and strategy that comes with the action RPG that can still preserve many of the aspects I adore about the more standard JRPG. I definitely stray more towards the J-ARPG rather than the Western variety, with one of my all time favorite series being Kingdom Hearts.
Gonna join the chorus here and say microtransactions fueled by the topic post complaint of RNG. First you say a player can just earn everything in game, but then you load that promise down with pure RNG top to bottom while stacking the odds to either require insane playtime or hefty financial investment if you don't have your entire life to burn on one game. Like Overwatch. I have folded in the past and bought lootboxes. In retrospect, it was a dumb decision, but at the time I was tempted...
Games having all content at launch would be mighty fine. What was once standard has fallen by the wayside this generation. Concerns of cut content are real, and huge day one patches speak to a game going gold simply meaning its time to put the beta on a disc and then get back to developing. Cost of games is steadily becoming $60 for the game, plus an additional $20 - $60 for an advanced pass for DLC that you won’t even know if it’s worth buying or not. Then it always raises the question of “w...
Sure I can. I can acknowledge that freedom, but I'm also free to call the move dumb. PC gaming is a fairly Steam dominated marketplace. The only way anyone else has gotten a foothold is by finding a proper niche like GOG, or being publisher based and keeping their games on their own platform as much as possible (uPlay, Origin, Battle.Net). You look at Green Man Gaming, and they generally thrive by being an alternative marketplace for Steam keys. Humble Bundle prioritizes Steam key distrib...
Based off profit and general business practice. If you're offering a significant split in favor of the content creators to start, that is bound to dip once the marketplace establishes a firm foothold and is no longer at major risk of being pushed out. Oh, sure, they'll probably try to ultimately stay a few cents to the dollar better than Steam in that regard, but I have no doubt they'll eventually ditch this model once they get a better handle on all the costs associated with runn...
I’d just like to say, as a PC gamer, I’m long ago done with everyone thinking they need to make their own game marketplace. It’s getting tiring that just off the top of my head I can name six each run by entirely different parties, and only two of them even sort of interact with their social functions. Competition just breeds division, and if everyone I play with is on Steam, no way in hell am I buying my games elsewhere unless I absolutely have to.
PC gaming is becoming dr...
The worst game for me was probably Final Fantasy X. Much like with the reasoning in the Max Payne 3 example, it’s not because this is a bad game. Bad games are something you can quit and forget. With FFX though, I stayed on the hunt for what I was supposed to like from the first cinematic to the final battle. I like JRPGs, people tend to really like FFX, so I thought something had to be there. Instead it became my worst game out of the sheer disappointment and just feeling like I was playing ...
My favorite game is easily Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I have so many good memories with that game, and once when someone offered to buy me any game I wanted, that was my choice. To this day I can play it through and enjoy every moment as if it was the first time. A game that stuck with me far more than I expected it to years after I played the iconic experiences that shaped my gaming tastes today.
The first game that captivated me and made me truly want to be a gamer? The kudos could probably go to a few JRPGs back on the PS1, but I'll give major credit to The Legend of Dragoon. It encouraged me to explore other JRPGs and led me to many other noteworthy titles. To this day, my most fondly remembered games all share JRPG roots, but it caused me to seek games with similar themes, battle systems, general game play styles, and more that expanded into my highly varied tastes today.
Can we stop approving these “guide” posts that don’t even try to veil what should be surprising and interesting things for people playing the game? Honestly, it’s tiring that this content even has to be reported after the fact because I’m sure staff for these sites have just enough N4G votes to constantly push their own articles through, making the member based approval system worthless.
A shame GTA V Online has killed any belief in Rockstar making singleplayer DLC in the face of multiplayer profits.
Did you all know this collection actually came out on PSP ages ago as Dracula X Chronicles? It had a remake of Rondo of Blood, the original Rondo of Blood, and Symphony of the Night. They unveiled this as something new, but really, it isn't. Just seems to be something people are missing in understanding what exactly is being emulated.
Part of the beta for this myself. Works better than expected, although I did experience some hiccups at the start of the game. As a whole though, it's very responsive and still looks pretty good.
Once again, not my point. The point is that corporations periodically pick an example to sue as a reminder that they can and will sometimes go after pirates. It literally has nothing to do with a stance of morality held by individual gamers.
Okay? Does that have anything to do with what I said? Just pointed out the title of the article is misleading.
Selling the hacked consoles isn't the problem. The key is that bootlegged games bit. Sit there and casually sell hundreds of pirated games, and you become the next best example for who to sue to remind everyone that corporations don't like piracy.
Four bosses in, the only bug I've run into is the super speed one based on your monitor (at 144hz my horse was greased lightning at the start until I changed to windowed full screen). Otherwise no problems to be found. One mistake I've seen people make though is assuming you can play this exactly like Salt & Sanctuary from the start. The beginning actually encourages use of the shield, and using it aids heavily in survival until you up your stam and regen speeds. I really wanted t...
The thing is though, if there is an iOS workaround, why wouldn't Epic point people towards that instead of eating the 30% loss? Could it be for the same reasons I see this decision having a heavy, negative impact on their sales?
The New Super Mario series was already stale by the time this game came out originally. Giving it a new lease on life doesn’t suddenly make it any less average and disappointing of a Mario experience. This review at least proves to me why scores are largely useless though. A lot of places will feel obligated to dole out somewhere between an 8 and a 9 because Mario, but any review that doesn’t read like a 7 will just mean the reviewer is lying to themselves. Without the need to score it hangin...
